The Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education 2015 is going on. And students in secondary schools in different parts of Kenya are sitting for their papers, doing their best to, hopefully, get top scores come 2016 when the KCSE results are announced.

That is if their results don’t get cancelled by KNEC (Kenya National Examinations Council) for exam malpractice.

Some would argue that social media and cheap access to the internet (well students still sneak phones, modems and tablets to school) is making cheating in the national exams even easier compared to the years 2014, 2013…

Add that to the prolonged teachers strike that made some students lazy (not working to their full capacity to get ready for the examinations), the cheating is probably going to continue till the third term ends – and KCSE is over.

However much the Education Cabinet Secretary, Prof. Jacob Kaimenyi isn’t ready for the truth that there is lots of evidence to show that a lot of papers have been leaked on the internet as reports on some television stations have shown, more students are going to be tempted to look for the papers before they actually sit the exams.

Should KNEC cancel this year’s KCSE and release new papers that haven’t been leaked yet? This is a tricky one! For the persons who have leaked the papers doing rounds in social media already could just do the same to any paper KNEC decides to put out.
